What is the fuel tank capacity of the Cadillac ATS?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Cadillac ATS is 62 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Cadillac ATS can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Cadillac ATS requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 794 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow from the tank's safe space. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
I remember driving my Cadillac ATS for over three years now, with a fuel tank capacity of approximately 16.5 gallons, which converts to about 62 liters. For daily city commuting, a full tank gets me around 450 kilometers, while on the highway it's more fuel-efficient, stretching to over 600 kilometers. If you drive more aggressively, the fuel consumption increases and the range shortens. I make it a habit to check the fuel tank cap seal every month to ensure there's no air leakage or deformation, preventing unnecessary fuel consumption. During hot summer months, I avoid filling the tank completely to prevent fuel expansion and overflow. Overall, the ATS has a moderate fuel tank capacity, making it suitable for both daily commutes and long-distance trips without hassle. I recommend new owners to perform regular maintenance and use 95-octane gasoline for better engine performance, which can save money in the long run.
